I think they sound hilarious. I was actually in negotiations a while ago with one of the many firms working on this relaunch, so was amused to see in the last line of that article that they are still committed to "transparancy." We had many laughs in the office about transparent vaginas.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I always look and end up having a running countdown in my head. "If I get to sleep now, I'll still be able to sleep for 6 hours....If I get to sleep now, I'll still get 5 hours.....If I get to sleep now, I'll still get 4 hours....3 hours? Please fall asleep now.....2 hours? Shit. Only 2 hours.....Well, crap. I might as well get up."
Heh, that's exactly what I do when I'm tossing and turning (or wake up ungodly early). It sucks moose balls. That's why if I get comfortable I'll just try to zone out, or try to run some linear process/story through my head (work, movies, music, etc.). I can't do that so well when I toss and turn.
I am malicious and squinty-eyed and I just know that I'm going to spend all day on the verge of a sneeze.
Dear Texas,
In July you'll be getting one more liberal. Our numbers are growing.
Is it bad that I want to see this as a bumper sticker?
Good morning nice people. I'm a sheep. I'd just take the breathalyzer. That's how I'm programmed. I also say thank you when I'm given a ticket.
I used my new NUBAR polish last night. It dries super fast which I love. And the green I have on is shimmer but deep. It's not quite perfect, but it's close.
I am placing another nubar order, including ita's brown which I had skipped and some pastels. Burrell, which ones do you want? I'm ordering this afternoon.

I'm nice in the beginning, but once I know I'm getting a ticket, I am icy, baby!

I was doing this just last night! And it was NOT fucking great!

Me too! Baa.
I want to drop "But what about the plaid?" into eery debate, now. Where I would otherwise be tempted to ask "Won't someone please think of the children?!?", I"m thinking.
I would have a running countdown if I could see a clock from my bed (too near-sighted to read my alarm without glasses/contacts), but I can talk myself out of actually getting up to check the time unless I am committing to just getting up in general.
My issue tends to be whether it's supposed to be light out when I wake up. So then, when I wake up in the "middle of the night"--is it light out? If it's NOT, and I know it'll be light when I'm supposed to wake up, I can attempt to snuggle back into the pillows and try to sleep more. If it IS, then I have to look, worrying that perhaps the alarm will go off in like, three more minutes, and it's not worth trying to get back to sleep.
If the alarm is going off while it's still dark, all bets are off.

I'm pretty sure that's why I slept until noon on Saturday -- it never got all that light out!
This morning I woke up before the alarm. I don't know why I was already semi-awake, but then the cat was hacking and then I got a text, so then I was awake. Pfui.
